Hello everyone and welcome to thespheremaker.com

We are Dale and Sia of The Sphere Maker and Petra Enterprises and we love to share our passion for rocks and gems with you. We have sold our spheres and other stones for over 20 years including selling on Ebay for the last fourteen years. The Sphere Maker is Dale.

We live in Southern Oregon, at the coast. We both retired early from the same corporation. Dale’s background is in Instrumentation and Controls and Sia’s in Engineering and Business. Dale is native Californian; Sia was born in Greece. We share interest in the outdoors where we enjoy hiking in the most wonderful places, hunting for rocks, fishing (new activity) and taking pictures of mushrooms and plants.

We also enjoy gardening. As a matter of fact, we have a nice collection of North Western and other plants and we grow most of our greens and other vegetables.

Dale, the sphere maker, expertly made most of the spheres listed in this website. There are many photos in each listing so you can see details. This, however, may cause slow loading of the pages. Check our Fabulous Spheres and also our Rocks Fossils Minerals.

Why does The Sphere Maker make spheres?

Because Spheres are:

BEAUTIFUL

one can see the beauty all “around” the stone

it feels great to hold and admire them

VERY DECORATIVE

Spheres are very cheerful and decorative

Large spheres or groups of smaller spheres make for a very unusual and attractive centerpiece or other decor for home or office

Rocks, fossils, and minerals, and therefore spheres, come in many colors, so one can even coordinate the sphere decor with the colors in a room

COLLECTIBLE

There is such a great variety of rocks, fossils, and minerals that are or can be made into spheres so that one can start a collection and keep collecting for a lifetime

AN INVESTMENT

There is value added to the stones/rocks when made into spheres and, based on the quality and rarity of the spheres, one may have a very nice investment in a sphere collection

GREAT FOR GIFTS

SAID TO HAVE DESIRABLE PROPERTIES*

Metaphysical, healing, and other

AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN

They provide an opportunity to learn about rocks, fossils, and minerals and teach others as well.
